Which of the following best describes the functional difference between primary and secondary meristematic tissues in relation to the growth patterns of vascular plants?

How do the distinct types of sclerenchyma cells (fibers and stone cells) contribute to the mechanical strength of plants, and what role does their origin play in their function?

Which aspect of meristematic tissue differentiation in lateral meristems (e.g., vascular cambium) directly influences the radial expansion of stems in dicot plants?

How does the anatomical arrangement of vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) in vascular bundles contribute to the function of the plant?

Which specialized structure in parenchyma cells is responsible for storing ergastic substances such as resins, tannins, and starch?
